%X In this work, a study based on the university student¡¯s conception about microbial specific growth rate (¦Ì) is presented. The study was focused on last year students of the Biochemist career (Buenos Aires University, Argentina). It was developed considering the answers given anonymously by the students when they were spontaneously asked about the meaning of ¦Ì. The analysis was focused in the identification of factors which could be related with the students¡ä ideas about ¦Ì, such as the previous work with the subject, the tendency to the functional reduction, the pragmatisms and the possibility of alternative conceptions, but related with a specific field of applied sciences, such as biotechnology. Strategies aiming to the reconstruction of the ¦Ì concept were proposed considering these factors. The experiences presented in this work will contribute to the development of the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) in applied sciences, particularly in biotechnology.
